Date:          14 June 2020

Region:       Kosciuszko National Park

This was a quick day trip from Canberra for a walk in the mountains. We had originally planned to walk the Main Range but the forecast was for heavy winds and snow. We changed our plan and decided that the walk up Disappointment Spur to White's River Hut would provide some shelter from the winds. When we got to the Guthega Power Station the creek crossing looked a bit dangerous with quite a bit of water flowing over the rocks at the crossing. We then decided not to take a chance of falling in the creek and headed up the main road. At the top of the steep section we took a left and walked the track on the high side of Horse Camp Hut.

At the start of the day we had fairly heavy sleet which then turned into light snow around Horse Camp Hut. The walk was very sheltered from the winds until we were a few hundred metres from White's River Hut. After lunch we headed back to the power station along the main road.
